Writing Heads poster
NR

They are the first and the last, those who imagine stories and give voice to the characters who live them. However, they never speak. But now, they emerge from the shadows of a poorly lit room and tell their secrets, their tricks, their influences; they tell their own story, that of those who face the blank page, the absolute nothingness; that of those who are the true authors, those who create and destroy entire universes. They are the screenwriters.

In her own words, over the years, Almudena Grandes shared her way of seeing the world, understanding life, and approaching writing. But Almudena is no longer here. The aim of this film is to keep her memory alive: to celebrate her life and work without forgetting the painful void left by her passing. Luis García Montero, her husband, steps into that void and, in doing so, completes the intimate portrait of a writer who, like few others, has been able to tell the story of our lives.
